Ah ha !!
And oh ho ........... caught 'em with their trousers down
Very interesting - certainly looks PRS'y doesn't it. Bet all that mystery stock of 650's (if there is any) might start coming out of the woodworm now - and perhaps reduced prices ? |

Most of the 650s are in Japan by reports I have seen. not much to put out at a discount in most markets.

I hope they make an upgraded PRS 350. Not that I'll buy it on release, because my PRS 350 is fine, but I like the 5 inch model.

And they are both back in stock at the Sony Style Canada store, at the usual $250/$200 prices - no clearout price yet!

"............Waterstones in Birmingham ......." we've been here before, elcreative. I reckon the High Street is a dark vortex that must suck all the 650's into itself.... From a lot of other other threads, they must be hiding there - Costa del Brum.. Last edited by carpetmojo; 07-28-2011 at 05:39 PM. Reason: Lack of respect - no capital B for Brum....... |

I'm pleased to report that the Sony stands are still in said stores. Either they are selling well or Waterstone's are just plain inept when it comes to visual merchandising. I'm tempted (or would like to say) that its the former, but I've yet to see a Sony out in the wild. (But that said, I've not seen a Kindle either, but people MUST be buying these devices - where are they keeping them? I take mine EVERYWHERE!) |

I've actually seen several around in coffee shops etc and a few days ago I shared the back seat of a bus with someone reading a 350...

Woo-hoo! This time around I think that I will pick up one of the larger-screened readers to compliment my awesome PRS-350.
